Another reason we need private matchmaking

For the past month or so I have been competing in a sweaty league. Each week we match up with our scheduled opponents and play best out of five matches in a 3v3 playlist. As I'm sure many of you are aware, it can sometimes take a while to get the two teams matched up against each other. Usually this is irritating at worst (private matchmaking plz bungo), but last night it severely effected our game. After our first match (because, truthfully, we got stomped on) our teams got broken up afterwards and we had to queue up again. After about 20 minutes we finally got in the same lobby and round two began. That's when the big problem arose... About halfway through the match the other team was leading by a couple thousand points and suddenly they all either sat down or started dancing. This threw us off quite a bit because dancing is supposed to mean "unpause the game" after waving to signify "pause the game". Shortly after just standing around trying to figure out what was going on, we received a message from them saying they were trying not to get broken up again. Apparently they wanted us to kill them to even up the scores a little because they were already assuming they were going to win. Needless to say, this infuriated our team quite a bit. The assumption that they were going to win when the match was only halfway done was bad enough, but the fact that we had to guess what kind of point spread would trigger the post-match team separation was even worse. Our team became EXTREMELY tilted and much less effectively communicative as a whole. We lost 5-0. I can't blame the loss entirely on the matchmaking frustrations because their team was simply a better team. However, we shouldn't have to deal with these sorts of complications in order to [b][u]just play in a private lobby[/u][/b]. I'm begging you, Bungie...fix this as soon as you can. Side note: if anyone knows the spread that will trigger the teams being broken up, please share some wisdom so this doesn't happen to us again. If we know, at least we can come up with rules to prevent this sort of impromptu game adjustment.
